Xi Shi is still popular when he is older. One reason is that Xi Shi in his thirties is still beautiful and more attractive. Second, at that time, the society did not care too much about women's second marriage as some people do now. Xi Shi has been with Fu Cha for 18 years, and when he returned to China, he was already in his thirties, so he was very old. Besides being old, according to some of us now, the most terrible thing is that she has been married.

In fact, in ancient times, people's consciousness was very different from that of modern people. At that time, it was not a big deal for women to remarry, and men married many married women. For example, Liu Bang married Bo Ji, who had been married, and gave birth to the later Chinese Emperor. It was only after Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism began to appear that it gradually became immoral for women to remarry, and men therefore became concerned.

In the eyes of modern people, it is not a problem at all. There are still many unmarried women in their thirties. Many people think that Xi Shi is very old in his thirties, and the average life expectancy of people in the Spring and Autumn Period is only in his forties. Because of the lack of medicine and food, ordinary people did have a short life expectancy at that time, but in the rich and powerful families, there are still many people who live to be 6 or 7 years old. After Xi Shi arrived in the State of Wu, she should have good food and drink, and also have the conditions to be well maintained, so her physical condition will certainly not be bad and her appearance will be well maintained. Therefore, although Xi Shi is over thirty years old, she is definitely better than ordinary women in appearance and talent.

Of course, after Xi Shi returned to China, some people, including Gou Jian, liked her because of her beautiful face. Fan Li is definitely different. He definitely has love for Xi Shi.
